State Auditor Braden, being interviewed
on the subject, said: II may seem very

to whether lands were swampy or not, but
il must be remembered that a good ma nv

and defeated, this time by a majority

had been a decided gain for the tun-

Notwithstanding the large pension
payments last month, amounting to
$16, 500, 1000, the receipts for the
last month are more than $780,
900 in excess, of the total ex.
penditures during the same period.
The receipts have averaged over
100000 a day and now amount to
$83,814,354. Many people donotstop
to think that this vast surplus is UNI
necessarily drawn from the pockets
of the people by taxation in various

The extension of the national bank

in the whole country north Of the
Chesapeake and east Of the Ohio has
been less than 3 per cent. This in
